The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural awakening among African Americans between the two world wars. It was the cultural phase of the 'New Negro' movement, a social and political phenomenon that promoted a proud racial identity, economic independence, and progressive politics. In this 'Very Short Introduction', Cheryl A. Wall captures the Harlem Renaissance's zeitgeist by identifying issues and strategies that engaged writers, musicians, and visual artists alike. She introduces key figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay, and Jean Toomer, along with such signature texts as 'Mother to Son,' 'Harlem Shadows,' and 'Cane'.
